Chapter 940

She was shrewd and capable by nature,

and also hoped that her sweetheart would be stronger than her.

This was a woman's natural psychological tendency to admire strength.

Huo Qingtong knew when to advance and retreat and understood reason,

and did not pursue the bottom of Gu Hanyuan's words.

Her expression stirred,

and she said hesitantly:

"If that is the case, Khwarezm is indeed an excellent ally. It's just that I suspect the Prince Jalal ad-Din who came this time is an impostor. If I go to talk to him about forming an alliance, I'm afraid it will be useless, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Hanyuan first praised her:

"Qingtong is indeed intelligent."

He paused,

and said in a low voice:

"That Jalal ad-Din is indeed a fake. But they have someone who can make decisions."

Hearing this, Huo Qingtong was stunned,

and asked subconsciously:

"Who is it?"

Gu Hanyuan spat out three words with an inexplicable tone:

"Madam Zhen 830."

While saying this,

he was also reminiscing about Zhen Sushan's flaming red lips from yesterday.

It just so happened that he could go see her again today.

Hearing this, Huo Qingtong exclaimed:

"That Madam Zhen, who is famous for her intelligence and ruthlessness?"

Zhen Sushan was quite famous in foreign lands,

so it was not surprising that Huo Qingtong had this reaction.

Gu Hanyuan nodded with a smile:

"Exactly."

Huo Qingtong asked with concerns in her heart:

"If it is her, she indeed has the qualifications. It's just that they used a fake Prince Jalal ad-Din as a cover to come to Xixia. Clearly, they have other schemes and might not agree to meet with me."

It wasn't that she was worried Gu Hanyuan couldn't facilitate an alliance between the two sides;

after all, Gu Hanyuan had arranged a place for Khwarezm to settle,

which was a great favor to them.

Even if it were just for Gu Hanyuan's sake, they would agree to form an alliance with the Hui Tribe.

Moreover, forming an alliance was beneficial to both sides.

However, Huo Qingtong could not stay in Xixia for too long

and had to return to the Hui Tribe as soon as possible.

She was worried that they wouldn't be able to reach an agreement before the Xixia marriage proposal ended,

because Helian Tieshu was deliberately delaying time,

and this marriage proposal might drag on for a long time.

However, Gu Hanyuan's words dispelled her concerns:

"I can act as a bridge for Qingtong to have private contact with Madam Zhen."

Huo Qingtong smiled happily:

"That's great. Thank you, Brother Gu."

Gu Hanyuan said gently with a smile:

"Qingtong, don't be so polite."

The more Huo Qingtong looked at Gu Hanyuan's smiling face, the more she felt it was good-looking,

and a blush floated on her beautiful face again.

Perhaps feeling Gu Hanyuan's astonishing charm,

combined with his rumors,

a flash of inspiration crossed Huo Qingtong's mind,

and she asked suspiciously subconsciously:

"That Madam Zhen wouldn't be Brother Gu's confidante, would she?"

Gu Hanyuan laughed:

"Not yet."

Huo Qingtong said with an inexplicable tone:

"Is that so..."

Unknowingly, she pouted slightly,

clearly caring extremely about the matter between Gu Hanyuan and Zhen Sushan.

Gu Hanyuan teased:

"Is Qingtong jealous?"

How could Huo Qingtong withstand such a direct question from Gu Hanyuan?

It just happened to strike her little secret thoughts,

and she instantly turned bright red,

and said coquettishly:

"Brother Gu... I'm not jealous or anything."

That maidenly shy appearance was enough to make one's appetite soar.

Gu Hanyuan was not in a hurry,

and said with an inexplicable tone:

"Even with Khwarezm holding back Mongol Yuan, the situation of the Hui Tribe remains far from optimistic."

These words were full of inducement.

Hearing this, Huo Qingtong, just as he expected, said in a deep voice:

"Yes. Now the Qing Guo is our greatest threat. And Fu Kangan's plan to plot against me failed, so it is very likely he will also send troops."

Seeing that the timing was about right,

Gu Hanyuan deliberately stared silently at Huo Qingtong's beautiful eyes, which were bright as stars and moon.

Huo Qingtong didn't know why Gu Hanyuan was staring at her while talking about serious business,

but being stared at by his deep, immersive star-like eyes,

she felt shy unconsciously.

She asked stammeringly:

"Brother Gu, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Gu Hanyuan did not answer Huo Qingtong,

and said with a voice that was slightly drifting:

"I am going to the Qing Guo."

Hearing this, Huo Qingtong was stunned,

and asked suspiciously:

"What is Brother Gu going to the Qing Guo for?"

However, Gu Hanyuan's next words were earth-shattering.

He looked at Huo Qingtong's beautiful eyes gently and firmly, and said slowly:

"To take Oboi's head."

Hearing this, Huo Qingtong was greatly alarmed,

and the pupils in her beautiful eyes trembled violently. ===== CHAPTER 942 =====
